Is this helmet real?

The clear pictures of the first helmet is needed ( close ups)
The second is definately is a good bunker found piece.

Yes it was my thought that the 1st one might be A.K. helmet also. So is it for sale? If so what price please let me know. I have some items from E. front and W. front after D-day, my GF was in the 2nd SS pnzr div. But I don't have much from Afrika front. Thanks.

Well, I have no idea how much it is. And how much would the bunker find be worth?

Hi Peter , pics are better , as for being a dak helmet i tent to go more with badly faded winter camo , specaly the way the liner rivets are clearly whiter in your new pics , i like the cracking of the paint in the new pics , but theres something about this lid that just doesnt do it for me , when ever i feel this way i go by a saying i was told a few years back ,'' when in doubt ,leave it out"but thats just my personal view on the lid , if you want a sure fire winter camo id go for the one Eugene is selling , just my thoughts , cheers Raymond

Yes I see that There are many opinions abou this. But, then agian the 1st helmet offers "lifetime" garentee. .

Lifetime guarantee is offered in many cases just to hide the fact that what they are selling is fake. So don't put your eggs in that basket.

I find the inside color of helmet #1 very light ? Is it also painted white inside or is it the factory green color we are seeing. The picture is very poor. One thing the close-ups should show is the original factory paint in the damaged spots and at least traces of one decal. I don't see that.

In any case I personally see too many questions when looking at this helmet.
